Chapter 82 Seventy percent
"Master, three guests have arrived"

Not a moment after Little Liuzi went out, his familiar voice sounded again outside the door. After Gu Han took a closer look, he saw Little Liuzi dressed in gray coming with three figures, two men and one woman. in front of him.

Among them, the two men looked about 50 to [-] years old. One was wearing purple clothes, with a square face and five long beards under his chin.

The other person was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, with sunken cheeks, a pair of triangular eyes, and a short beard of a few inches. It was unpleasant to look at.

As for the last woman, she was a woman who looked no more than 30 years old, wearing a thin shirt, outlining her perfect figure, and a woman with a beautiful face.

"Subordinates Shen Changfeng from Huayang Road in Dongchang Prefecture, Zhang Conglin from Xianyang Temple, and Liu Ruji from Xueyue Valley, pay homage to the commander of Huayang Road soldiers and horses!"

As soon as the three of them entered the main hall, seeing Gu Han sitting in the main seat, they immediately bowed and shouted loudly.

"Shen Family, Xianyang Temple, Xueyue Valley?"

Hearing the names of these three forces, Gu Han thought for a while, and then recalled the dossiers he had read about the major forces on Huayang Road a few days ago.

It was introduced in the dossier that in Huayang Dao, there are seven top first-class forces, namely Shen Family, Zhang Family, Li Family, Xianyang Temple, Xueyue Valley, Purple Sword Pavilion, and Sanhe Gang.

The seven major forces, known as the three clans and four factions, form an alliance together and control almost all the forces in the Jianghu of Huayang Dao. All the big and small gangs and major families of Huayang Dao rely on them.Even, even the imperial court occasionally has to rely on their power to stabilize and balance the major forces.

The relationship between these forces and the imperial court is like the county magistrates arranged by the local soldiers and gentry in the feudal society of Gu Han's first generation and the imperial court. Good control of the entire county.

Gu Han sorted out his thoughts in his mind, but his face remained unchanged, and then asked the three of them calmly:
"It turned out to be some masters from the three families and four sects of Huayang Dao. Now that the coming-of-age ceremony has ended in January, you don't go back to Huayang Dao to stay. Why did you suddenly come to me today, but what's the matter?"

"My lord's eyes!"

The three of them first patted Gu Han's flattery lightly when they heard the words, and then the middle-aged Shen Changfeng in purple among the three said to Gu Han:

"Returning to my lord, the reason why the three of you have not returned to Huayang Dao for a long time is entirely because you learned that your lord is about to take over the post of commander of Huayang Dao soldiers and horses at the coming-of-age ceremony of the Zhou family, so they want to advance For the sake of meeting with adults and building a good relationship.

After all, my lord will also stay in Huayang Road for a few years in the future. After I understand your personality and habits, I will be able to fully cooperate with your work arrangements more conveniently.

However, since the coming-of-age ceremony that day, the adults have never stepped out of the Zhou Mansion, and announced to the outside world that they will retreat for a while, so we dare not disturb.

Until it dragged on for a full month, the people in the Huayang Dao family sect were really in a hurry, and I waited for the three of them to come to meet the Lord boldly. At the same time, I also represented the seven major forces of Huayang Dao to discuss with the Lord. Issues. "

"Oh, let's talk about something, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Gu Han also showed a hint of interest on his face.

"This……"

Seeing Gu Han speaking, the three of them wanted to speak, but they looked at the little six beside them, and immediately stopped talking.

"Little Six, step back for now!"

Seeing the three of them acting like this, Gu Han couldn't be more of a meat show, he quickly waved his hand at Little Six, and ordered.

"Yes!"

Little Six didn't dare to wait any longer when he saw this, he quickly responded, and then left respectfully.

"Okay, now you can talk about anything."

After Xiaoliuzi closed the door and walked out, Gu Han waved his hand again, and built a layer of internal force soundproof wall around the door wall, then smiled slightly and spoke.

"Huh! Thank you for your understanding, sir."

Seeing that Gu Han was so careful, the three of them looked at each other again, and they all saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

As the local local snakes in Huayang Road, they always adhere to the principle of "not afraid of you being greedy, but afraid that you are not greedy" when facing the commanders of soldiers and horses who are suddenly descended from their superiors.

Over the past few decades, relying on this principle, they have always gotten along very well with each newly appointed military commander and made a fortune together.

Leaving aside, let’s take Zhang Zongfeng, the military commander of Huayang Dao who has just been promoted, as an example. Isn’t it because of their support that he has been an official in Huayang Dao for more than ten years? If it is lacking, can it be discovered by the above?
Originally, when they saw Gu Han not taking office for a long time, and at the same time, he was still young and came from a big family, they thought that he should be difficult to deal with, but they didn't expect that he would be so good now, which really made them overjoyed.

"My lord, since you are about to take up the post of commander of Huayang Dao soldiers and horses, have you ever done some simple understanding of Huayang Dao?"

Seeing Gu Han's smiling gaze, Shen Changfeng thought for a while, then stroked his long beard lightly, and asked.

"Oh, understand? When you say understand, what aspect do you mean?"

Hearing Shen Changfeng's question, Gu Han also opened his mouth to answer.

"Hehehe, Commander-in-Chief is really good at pretending to be confused. What else can I understand about the contact between the imperial court? Isn't it just about taxation?"

As soon as Gu Han finished speaking, Liu Ruji, who was wearing a thin shirt and showed her charm with a glance and a smile, giggled and replied.

"Oh, taxes, what's the deal with that?"

Ignoring Liu Ruji's intentional or unintentional temptation, Gu Han asked curiously.

Although he knows that in any life, there will definitely be many loopholes and problems related to taxation, but in this life, he only had a little understanding of taxation in this world a few days ago, so he is naturally inferior to these few people who have been immersed in the Tao. A man who has been obscene for many years.

"Hehe! My lord doesn't know something."

Seeing Gu Han's question, Shen Changfeng quickly answered:
"The Great Chu Dynasty has a vast territory, a large population, and an unknown number of industries. Among them, the taxes of various industries are also different. For example, the agricultural tax is one out of ten, and the commercial tax is one out of eight. As for the breeding of exotic animals , mining mineral deposits, etc. The taxation here is different.

With such a complicated tax system, there is a lot to do here.After reading the dossier, my lord must have known that last year the major families and sects of Huayang Dao received a tax of 530 and [-] taels of gold for a year! "

"Well, that's right. It's recorded like this in the dossier. Why, how much water is there?"

After hearing Shen Changfeng's words, Gu Han asked curiously.

"My lord, 530 and [-] taels of gold, this is just what we made for the higher-ups to see, in fact, what we have to pay is more than double this.

Therefore, when Commander Zhang was in office, our major families promised to give him half of the unpaid taxes every year.

However, your lord's status is very important, and after all, you can't be compared with Mr. Zhang. With your support, it will be much more convenient for me to do things in the future. Therefore, after discussion between our seven major family sects, we decided to increase the share of lord to [-]% every year. I don't know, what's your opinion? "

Looking at Gu Han's face, Shen Changfeng said confidently.

In the meantime, he didn't want to hide the real tax from Gu Han. After all, this kind of thing is complicated, but if Gu Han really wants to check it, he can understand it clearly by passing a word.

After all, that ex-commander of Huayang Dao was thrown under the big tree of the Zhou family. With him around, what else could I hide from Gu Han?
As for worrying that Gu Han would leak it, Shen Changfeng didn't worry about it either.

After all, there are more than 100 million taels of gold per year, which is not a small amount even for a direct disciple of the Zhou family. Even with Gu Han's treatment, the resources enjoyed by the Zhou family every year are only about this amount half.

Now, he just promised to give him so much money every year, he can't believe that Mr. Zhou Yi won't be tempted this week!
Shen long
Feng thought about it proudly, but he didn't expect to hear a voice that surprised him in the next moment.

"Hehe! Yicheng, Shen Changfeng, you really have a good plan. You have been greedy for so much money from the dynasty, and now you want to bribe me, so you are only willing to give me the mere [-]% of the quota? What do you want for the remaining [-]%?" Where can I use it? Let me tell you, [-]% is not enough, if you want me to keep silent, at least give me...

Seventy percent! "

In the hall, Gu Han's faint voice resounded, instantly making Shen Changfeng and the three of them feel as if struck by lightning, and they were stunned on the spot, almost unable to believe their ears.

 I can’t finish the next chapter today, so let’s just add one chapter for now, and I’ll make it up before [-] o’clock tomorrow afternoon, and I can’t be the boss of the live broadcast
